Novelty pants were bought as a fun Xmas gift before the offending design was noticed

They show a snowman with a carrot pointing upwards from just below its waist.

Jenna, from Stockport, Gtr Manchester, said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at the pattern and saw a snowman with his carrot like that.”

“I thought they were just a fun and festive stocking filler, but I have a two year old daughter and now I have to hide them in the laundry pile as I don’t fancy explaining to her what that snowman is doing.

“They are more like something you’d buy in Ann Summers than Sainsbury’s.

“I’ll definitely look at the carrots in my Christmas dinner differently this year.”
